When I was answering Ms Susie-P's Master-list of questions yesterday, I came up with a couple of new ones I thought I'd like to ask. I PM'd her with what I'd done and now just PM'd her again with this suggestion!
First the 2 new questions - I thought of these when I was answering about cookie cutters -
Do you use cookie stamps?
Do you use cookie molds?
I happen to love both of them! It's something different that makes cookie baking more fun some times. For those of you who do not know what they are, here's a link for you to take a peak

My first introduction to them was at a craft sale a number of years ago. I went back to that same craft sale for a number of years so I could keep adding to my collection! I love them! And they surely do get comments when someone picks up a cookie and sees the wonderful design! Anyway, I've seldom seen them for sale anywhere else. But they are out there and the ones I find now are even better than those I started out with. Last year in the Susiebear's Cookie Swap I had found a couple and sent them to my partner, zaiahsgramma! She loved them!! I thought she'd have fun with them and her GK's because they are so simple to use. Anyway, I would love to add more to my small collection if my SS should happen to stumble across them. Just something different!
As for the cookie molds? Though much more time consuming to use, they are well worth the extra effor when putting together a little goodie tray for family and friends around the holidays or any time of year. I use the molds as the centerpoint of my goodies trays and then add a variety of simpler cookies to go with them. Folks are quite impressed! I have a brother who is a food-stylist for GM and he gifted me with my first 3 molds. They are tough, durable and fun!!

There are tons of places on the internet to see all the different kinds of cookie molds. The ones I have a individual molds. They have the most detail. But I wouldn't mind someday adding a shortbread mold to my collection!
Anyway, now for my suggestion - How about for those who've already answered the Master list, how about going into your response, hit the edit button and then edit your list by adding these two questions and your answers to the cookie cutter question! It's simple to do and it would just add to your already existing list! It's just an idea! Anyway...........hope this isn't going to add any stress to anyone! But I hadn't thought about the questions until I was answering them!! Oh well!!
Happy 4th!!!!
